I HOPE THAT "DANTE" IS A COMPLETELY NEW CHARACTER AND NOT DANTE THAT WE KNOW.It may just be a spinoff and that would explain this new "DmC" name.

I mostly pop in occasionally to give my two cents on certain controversial things, so if you disagree then send a PM, because I generally don't check for replies in threads in case I feel like replying and then things get heated/derailed.

The more I think about it it bugs me they decided to do a reboot. It's not an old series, or even one that's laid dormant for an extended period. This makes it feel like a desperate move to keep the series relevant rather than let it sit for awhile or something.

According to SiliconEra the series hasn't sold that great in North America or western markets in general. Which surprises me, I'd think it'd sell as well here/better than it would in Japan.

Maybe they're looking at the success of other games in the hack-and-slash genre (ie. God of War, Bayonetta?) and want to make DMC more relevant in the category again. :P Not that *I* ever thought it was irrelevant, plus there's WAY worse out there (*cough99Nightscough*) anyway.

And even if that's somehow the case, I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE FUCKING WAY TO DO IT, CAPCOM.
